We could have stick with FTP but no, people wanted fireworks like operating systems, content viewers and real time communication.

@jestdotty I can't wait for the next OS war between distributed thin client systems with the backend on the blockchain, microkernels running all-WASM usercode, and a singular gigantic Rust binary that ensures isolation via the borrow checker and a total unsafe code ban, which you recompile weekly to keep your apps up to date.

@lorentz @jestdotty That's what I'm saying, people forgot that ftp is older than any popular operating system or communication protocol. Yes it's older than TCP/IP.
